thanks for the link, her plants did look like they were growing pretty good with the light other than the problems at the start, i wonder if she changed lights for a specific reason though didnt read past page 20 and then the final page lol.
She upgraded to full spectrum white leds. I believe that she doubled her harvest weights.
Glad they responded to you and can give some support.i contacted indo and here is the response that they gave me in regards to feeding.
oh fair enough, she was using the 400 vipar she said originally correct? i wonder if that was the 400 model which only uses like 100 or 200w or if it was a 400 true watt vipar. Either way even if i end up pulling like .5 grams per true watt with higher yeilding strains i will be relatively happy cause looking at some websites with new tech white light leds the ones that are over 500 true watts are like $1000+ canadian where as i payed like a 10th of that for the vipar and the new tech ones that are like $150 are only like 100 true watts so i probably only would have only been harvesting like 100 grams if i went new tech with the same pricepoint (not factoring in extra electricity costs obviously) and this is just on like 1 or 2 websites of new leds i looked at. Unless i went cheapo brand like mars or vipar new tech. Others who are more experienced feel free to let me know if this is an incorrect thought process though. Yeah man i appreciate them letting me know forsure so i dont feel like i am overfeeding.
I was honestly thinking the same thing, before i posted i tried lifting the pots and looking at the drainage holes and i didnt see a large amount or roots poking though but i will try to slide them out of the pot gently either now if it is dry enough or tomorrow and report back here. Also i will try to see if i am able to order cloth pots without them taking too long to arrive.
i will try putting a board over part of the diffuser window screen to block half of the led entirely, the necrosis already looks worse since yesterday. Here are some pics.
it wasnt really wet, id say moist, i did break up the roots a little bit but not much as i didnt want to shock them too much, a few of the roots on the sides of the pots were brown though which made me think i did overwater the time when i added the light and it immediately drooped and i watered after. The roots on the bottom and majority of the sides were white though. Is this too much too block?
ok thank you yet again for the fast responses and help, i will pull the board off so it is covering less and wait a week, after adjusting the board so about another inch or 2 of more light showing it is reading from 15,000 lux on the side not covered at the canopy down to like 1000-2000 for the side that is covered entirely, should i just take off the board and wait a week or leave it with the board on the way i have it? Feel like i am back into noob territory with this new light even though i have had multiple succesful grows before lol.
I dont currently i dont think but i will ask my parents and if not might try to get some more from a hw store. Thanks for the idea.
actually i just stole the bathroom window screen for a week or so and with it ontop the lux is around 10-15k across the canopy.
